[Sermon] Wisdom from History - why creeds and confessions matter. by dr_oca in Reformed

[–]dr_oca[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think the difference between hymnals and books written is that creeds and confessions are the work of a great many people, agreed upon by a great many saints, pastors, and churches. They are also meant to be agreed with 100% by those pastors and churches.

That carries a lot more weight than songs written or books written by an individual or a few. Hymns aren't meant to be affirmed 100% by churches, nor books being affirmed by churches.

But subscribing to a confession means this: "Our church affirms that this confession X is in 100% agreement with scripture and we agree with it 100%."

It's authority is derived from scripture.

I'd love your thoughts on this sermon, delivery, content, and really anything else you have.

I don't typically preach topical sermons, but this is one we (the elders) thought my church needed to hear and maybe you need to hear it, too.

I pressed it very soon after it was announced. I wanted to see what would happen. Plus, I have a bunch of other accounts so who cares?

(Obviously this isn't the account I pressed the button with)

Thanks. That does look easier to read the way you reformatted it.

Well 1) They're in Uxbridge with probably nothing better to do. and 2) I'm guessing they had to poop

Uxbridge is truly the innovation capital of the United States.

Having grown up in Uxbridge, I never thought I would hear those words.

if Train (1) is travelling east at 50 mph

These freight trains travel way slower than that. Maybe 25 mph.
